ICYMI: Trailer For HBO’s ‘David Bowie: The Last Five Years’

In the nearly two years since his unexpected passing, the void left by David Bowie remains as vast as ever, but fans can look back and remember the music icon in an upcoming HBO special.

David Bowie: The Last Five Years covers (obviously) Bowie’s final years on Earth and primarily focuses on his last two studio albums, The Next Day and Blackstar.

The Last Five Years is packed with all sorts of archival footage and new interviews. So far, a premiere date hasn’t been announced, but it goes without saying that this will be must-watch for all Bowie fans.

Focusing on the artist's final years, David Bowie: The Last Five Years presents a nuanced look at the evolution of Bowie's music as told through archival footage and interviews with the musical legend's bandmates. Largely focused on Bowie's final two albums, The Next Day and Blackstar, the film also explores his musical, Lazarus, which he began developing in the midst of his illness.
